RE: [JDBC] Re: First-time JDBC setup with Jakarta! Whee!

Hi,

We have JDBC driver working with Tomcat, by simply copying the
postgresql.jar file into the tomcat/lib directory, and restarting
tomcat.

No changes to server.xml are required for this.

Hope this helps.

pgsql-jdbc(at)postgresql(dot)org is the list. I'm cc'ing that list now.

I keep meaning to post an email about the new list to interfaces,
general & sql
(as that's where JDBC stuff is still being posted).

Not sure. I've got tomcat installed at home, but that's about it. The
next step
is to add the jdbc driver.

PS: I'm writing a couple of tutorials on getting the JDBC driver to work
with
both Tomcat & Jboss (an OS EJB container, with some links to tomcat), so

hopefully, time willing by the weekend I may get the same exception as
you ;-)
